"...Are there any budding art enthusiasts out there?
What's your favourite kind of art?
Mr Garfunkel and his mate are quite melodic. "
Indeed they are. Aren't they the ones that sung about rabbits dying?

Do you mean Christ of St John on the Cross? Fabulous piece, possibly my favourite Dali, and it's beautifully presented in the Kelvingrove. Did you know that he originally intended to paint him with flowers flowing from his hands? The museum in Figueres is also worth a visit if you get the chance.
Big lover of art and sculpture, from Renaissance and Classical through to modern and abstract and even graffiti. |

I like the art of an artist named Coop and also Robert Williams.
I like pinstriping and auto art too, like Von Dutch, Ed Roth and so on but can spend hours _iewing any kind of art from classic oil paintings to welded sculptures to Tramp art. |

I'm a freelance illustrator/artist.
I'm currently interested in outsider art and artists who have used children in there work (like henry darger or the chapman brothers). For me its about the way in which they have been represented and how the audience perceive their work, especially those who have used the image of a child in a provocative way. |

Such as Gottfried Helnwein? A lot of his earlier work was highly provocative, more in a Chapman Brothers vein. |

In a way yes...a lot of artists now are afraid to take things further. In the past like Lewis Carol taking photos of young children in the nude would now seem like he was in fact a paedophile, if he was around now. |

Never be afraid, the problem is more a fear of not makeing money.
To many artists to name who I admire, the Abstract expressionists, Franze Kline.
Now Billy Childish, Divid Shrigley, Banksy, Steven Campbell, Ken Currie.
Oh I could go.

"Welcome to the wonderfull world of oils, I wish I could be better at watercolour."
its kinda the opposite to oils where peeps work dark to light, layer on layer. Watercolours gotta think ahead to leave the white and think light light light, transparency, just a tiny bit of layering maybe to finish.  |

you can but work only with red yellow and blue at first till you get used to how they mix.
Watercolours can often be spoiled by using secondary colours which turn tertiary when overlaid or bleeding into others at least in my experience. |

"Rothko and Rene Magritte are my favourites."
I've never got Rothko - to me, it's just blocks of colour and I can't see past that.
In contrast, I have seen a friend reduced to tears by the 'power' of one of his paintings.
Just good to see how different things touch us in different ways. |
